Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Farrow's murder forces Forrester to take desperate measures to maintain control over the DN6 project. His impersonation of Farrow in Episode 3 is a direct consequence of the earlier killing, as he attempts to bypass the repercussions of his crime while continuing to push for DN6's approval.
